Sun Opposite the Ascendent

October 31, 2025

This evening at 6:00 P.M. Eastern Time, the Sun in the Sixth House will oppose the Ascendent on the 12th degree of Taurus. In astrology, when a planet opposes a specific point or another planetary body, it means they’re 180 degrees apart or opposite of one another.

This is the aspect we know as the opposition, and the opposition is a powerful aspect that can manifest in our lives in many different ways.

The Sun represents our will, our creativity, and our inner drive or desire to live and be a part of life. The Sun represents a large part of our personality, and it’s the force within us that gives rise to everything around us.

The 12th degree of Taurus appears to be about wishing for more. The Sabian Symbol depicts a couple window shopping and looking for things that give substance to their desire to be known. The placement of this Ascendent is super interesting considering tonight is Halloween, and many people are going to be out, dressed in costume, and going door to door for candy.

There’s something deeper going on here though, because weather you realized it or not, everything we wear, even the Halloween costumes we decide upon, is an expression of some part deep part of us that’s begging to be known.

Why, you ask? Well, the 12th degree of Taurus happens to fall under the rulership of the Constellation, Eridanus. Eridanus was put in the heavens to commemorate Italy’s River Po-the winding current symbolizing justice. So, in a sense, this is really about justice.

In Scorpio on the 8th degree in the Sixth House, the Sun sits in opposition to the 12th degree of Taurus, and this could play out in such a way that we find ourselves in a stressful situation needing to make a choice, which almost always results in letting go of something.

The process of healing begins immediately once we become aware of something, and these deep-dark parts of our soul and our being that come to light through our personal desire to wish for more, move from the depths of the subconscious mind into the everyday awakened mind. This is a very Sixth House thing, and that’s exactly where the Sun is.

It’s not a secret anymore that we lived many lives before this current incarnation, but the Sun encourages us to not get too carried away with who we once were. Bringing your awareness to a part of your being that’s begging to be healed in name of justice is necessary, but remember, there’s no moment in time that’s more important than the current one.

Today, this evening, on this Halloween, you might suddenly become aware that you were once the ruler of nation, a mercenary hired to kill, or someone who was burned at the stake. You’ll become aware of it, and then the healing process will begin. Enjoy it, talk about it, and then let it go.

Moon Scope; Full Moon in Scorpio

May 9, 2025

PUBLISHED 5/9 for 5/12

Good morning, and thank you for visiting Nooz Buffet. 

Our current lunar cycle began on April 27th with a new moon in the astrological sign, Taurus, and we were talking about the possibility of finding true love with Venus going direct, and we were talking about a dream I had about a bunch of bulls escaping from an area fenced in with razor wire. 

The dream, well, we interpreted that as breaking free from ruts and routine, but ultimately, breaking out of stagnation (an situation we forced ourselves to find comfort in because of fear and/or a lack of faith).

Now, we’ve reached culmination.

If breaking out of stagnation is what you needed, then you should’ve been able to do just that with Scorpio at the opposite end of this polarity. As the new moon progressed to full moon, there was a natural balancing going on and we should’ve felt the passion, the emotional power, and the stubbornness of Scorpio.

It should’ve been enough to snap us right out of that loving and lackadaisical state that can sometimes manifest through Taurus. Like the bulls, some of us broke free, and we should give thanks to Scorpio for making it possible, but now, a whole new situation is arising because the light is always accompanied by darkness.

And here, we can see the darker side of Scorpio working through us. It’s true, at the time of this full moon, we can definitely benefit from Scorpio’s intuition and rare penetrating vision that allows us to see deeper into people and situations. But, think about this..

You’ve broken out of your barbed wire prison, the cage, or the sleepy state of stagnation, and you’re looking around. You’re analyzing the environment around you now, and of course, you have questions.

How’d that happen? How’d we get there? Who was responsible? Well, truthfully, it was our fear and our lack of faith that landed us there, but it’s hard for some of us to take responsibility.

So, we’re blaming everyone and everything around us, and with the darker side of Scorpio in play, we could be seeking revenge. We could be quite vindictive and merciless.

This situation can take a different turn, and out of shame, we might remain silent, bottle everything up, and make this experience our own private little secret.

After coming out of stagnation, it will be natural for us to think about all the time we wasted, but don’t dwell on that too much. We live in a universe that seems to have perfect timing.

It’s possible that we had fights and arguments between the new and full moons, but lets be realistic, the bulls would’ve never freed themselves if they didn’t fight through the fence.

So, here we are. The Moon is full, it’s in Scorpio, and it’s big, bright, and magical.

Did you free yourself?

Did you find true love?

The full moon in Scorpio will reveal lots of stuff to us, and it’s very possible that we might be coming to grips with some of our own insecurities and shortcomings at this time. Don’t be too hard on yourself. Bringing your awareness to a problem and being honest with yourself about whatever it is is enough to get the ball rolling in the proper direction.

If you did find love during the past two weeks, then I’m sure your relationship will be one of tremendous passion. Make sure, to the best of your ability, that you start things off right. Every solid relationship is built upon trust-without it, the relationship will inevitably fail.

Don’t be afraid to be upfront and honest with your new partner, even though the tendency to be secretive (Scorpio) is there.

Nothing wears out a relationship faster than jealousy-another Scorpio trait that could be present now, and that’s why it’s better to be honest and upfront from the beginning.

A relationship is a partnership, and there shouldn’t be competition between the two of you. If there is, than you’re probably enemies and not lovers, but that’s something some of us need to figure out as time moves on.

With the Moon lighting up Scorpio, it’s not uncommon for two people to assume they’ve fallen madly in love because things can start off really hot and heavy, but beware.

There’s a lot of deception involved with Scorpio, and what you think is real true love could turn out to be a lustful passion. That’s good too! Don’t be fooled.

The full moon is always a good time to quiet the mind through prayer and meditation because it is a time of revelations-think of it as someone turning the light on as bright as it can go. 

This polarity between Taurus and Scorpio is fixed at both ends, so we’re dealing with energy that’s rigid, and for the most part, unchangeable, but as the moon begins to wane, it will be doing so in Sagittarius.

The point is, is that even if you still feel stuck or like the energy of Scorpio wasn’t enough, there will be a change in several days. 

Perhaps, instead of all this passion, we just needed a little creative fire.  We’ll, we should all get that by the 16th.

Alright, friendos…

Don’t let the full moon drive you crazy!

 

Moon Scope

October 23, 2024 Edition

Friends and Followers, good afternoon! 

Thank you for visiting N.B., and welcome to the October 23rd edition of Moon Scope.

This has been an interesting lunar cycle right from the beginning, with the new moon occurring in Libra on October 2nd. 

As far as relationships and seventh house matters are concerned, we were given a fresh start to either “clean house” or continue building.

Then we had an amazingly beautiful full moon in Aries on the 17th, which delivered insights and revelations on how to move forward with newfound courage.

Early morning of 10/17
Night of 10/17

Those were two pictures taken with my cell phone camera!  I can’t even believe it. 

So, the new lunar cycle that began on the 2nd reached culmination on the 17th and will begin anew on November 1st.

Not only did we pretty much get the entire month of October in this cycle, but we’re also getting Halloween as well before it begins anew on All Saints Day (November 1st). 

How’s that for timing? 

Growing up as a Roman Catholic, All Saints Day was the name given to the November 1st event, which was about the celebration and recognition of the Saints, but that same day is celebrated under many different names depending on your faith or religion.

At the start of the new lunar cycle, in the astrological sign of Scorpio, we find ourselves in deep dark waters. 

Naturally, Scorpio rules the Eighth House, and the Eighth House deals with property, other people’s money, legacies and wills, taxes, and death and rebirth.

Scorpio is fixed, passionate, and quite idealistic, so there could be some tension when it comes to shared resources. 

On the flip side of that, this might be a time to wipe the slate clean and reach some type of agreement.  Scorpio, for sure, represents the beginnings and ends of phases in life.

Scorpio’s symbol, in ancient times, was used to represent the Phoenix, a bird associated with regeneration and rising out of the ashes of death.

It will be the perfect time (10/29-11/1) to start giving some thought to Eighth House issues.

If you’re living in someone else’s home, and things aren’t going well, maybe it’s time to move.

If you owe money, it might be a good time to start making plans for repayment.

How can you increase your income? 

When it comes to property belonging to other people, there will always be issues. 

You can never truly experience independence until you have your own things.

Think about the timing and the unfoldment of this whole situation.  Relationships were under the microscope at the last new moon, and now it’s property and money belonging to other people.

If you made the decision to stand on your own two feet, you’ll now be required to take it a step further and examine the resources that were shared, with the aim of reaching self-reliance. 

It’s synchronistic, and it’s a rebirth in every sense.

Scorpio is also a very sexual sign.  Pregnancy issues could arise, and they could be planned or unplanned. 

Protect yourself if you’re not ready to be a parent, but you should be protecting yourself anyway from diseases and infections.

On that note, I would like to wish everyone a safe and happy Halloween! 

I hope you get all the candy you want.

Have fun and make great memories.

Lucky Number: 2 and 4

Today’s Forecast

Tuesday, October 8, 2024

Numerologically speaking, today’s date, when added, equals 26.  Two and six can be added to make 8.  So, it’s day number 8, which means we’re just about at the end of our 9-day, day cycle.

This morning, at approximately 8:40, Scorpio was the sign on the ascendant.  It’s a day for reminiscing.  Talk with family, friends, and neighbors about the memories that bond you.

While it’s not the best idea to live in our past, we know that it’s often the memories we share that keep communities and groups together.

The morning sun sits seventeen degrees above the horizon on the 15th degree of Libra in the twelfth house.

A trip down memory lane could stir up old feelings, some good and some bad.  Keep in mind that you’re a completely different person right now today than you were at any point in your past.

With Libra in the twelfth house, unbiased justice is served.  Partnerships will form, and some will deteriorate depending on how  members have been treating one another.  If it was built on lies and insincerity, it won’t last.

At the end of the day, love wins out, and the universe brings everything back into balance.

The midheaven on the 9th degree of Leo reveals a greater plan that’s driving karmic issues in the twelfth house.

Passion and commitment are required to create something of beauty and inspiration.   And, that my friends, requires a unified group working together to reach a common goal..

Or one person who’s passionately driven and self-motivated to do great things.

In the second house of money and personal possessions, the Moon in Sagittarius is 60° away from the Sun.

It’s a sextile showing opportunity.  Whatever transpires in the twelfth today seems to work in our favor.

Thoughts pertaining to money and possessions have been driving subconscious thoughts, but your prayers are finally answered. 

Try not to get too excited! 

Enjoy the day.  Lucky numbers are 2 and 4.

New Moon, Two Days Old

Friday, October 4, 2024

Hello everyone!  Today is Friday, and we’re now two days in on this current moon phase that began Wednesday when the new moon was in Libra.

Libra is cardinal air, and even though cardinal signs are open to change, they’re really not about sitting back and absorbing what’s going on around them.

As we use our intelligence to create the environment that best fits what we desire, ideas and thoughts pertaining to harmony begin to rise up from the deep.  In addition to that, desire and personal passions take front and center.

At this moment, we’re now dealing with Libra and Scorpio because this morning at 8:53, the moon was on that cusp on the zero degree of Scorpio in the 12th House.

Being in control of your life means taking responsibility, and as the moon leaves Libra and enters Scorpio, the focus turns from our relationships with other people to ourselves.

Over the next several days, the moon is giving us a chance to reflect on ourselves, our lives, and our behavior.

The 12th House is the last house of the wheel, so at the end of the day, which is really the beginning of this new phase, we find ourselves in the best and most favorable position.

Scorpio is the sign of death and rebirth! 

Moving forward, the plan will be to remain focused on the things you desire while beginning something you’re totally passionate about.  This is about your authentic self. 

Since Scorpio is covering part of the 1st House as well, there’s an opportunity to change the way the public sees you.

You want to be taken seriously, and they will take you seriously once they see how serious you are about the attainment of your desires and the pursuits of your passions.

The 12th House is about the law of cause and affect.  This is where we receive either the rewards or the punishments for our actions and decisions. 

Right now, we’re being rewarded, and in order to maximize these rewards, we must remain focused, move with purpose, and ignore the ignorance around us. 

The dark side of Scorpio is filled with jealousy, manipulation, and secrets, but we’re on the destiny path. 

Institutions are highlighted now.  Places like old age homes, hospitals, rehabilitation centers, and prisons could play a part in what’s going on right now in your life.

Lucky Numbers: 4 and 2

Saturday Morning, Astrological Reading

September 7, 2027

Good morning, beloved.  It’s the seventh day of September, and the Sun is halfway through its transit of Virgo.

As we see the sacred symbols, wings, chalice, Ivy, the eagle, and the fountain of youth, our awareness is stoked, and we find the Greek Goddess Hebe present in the 2nd House.

The astrological 2nd House is established as the house of personal possessions and money, and because we’ve consumed ourselves with making money and acquiring physical possessions, we sometimes lose site of other important things we can be in possession of.  Like faith, for example.

The Roman equivalent of Hebe was Juventas, and the Romans believed that Juventas was a powerful divine force rendering a vital gift of strength at a critical moment.

Now, this can be perceived as the woman or the man who suddenly gains superhuman strength and lifts a car off of an infant, but this strength can also be seen as hope, optimism, and positivity.  It can be seen as the strength to carry on and continue through life when all seems lost.

When life has lost its purpose and become pointless, and you’ve lost everything and find yourself in a lonely and dark place, Juventas represents divine intervention.  It’s that sudden spark that gives you the strength to make another go at things.

The Greeks called Hebe the Gladening Princess.  On Mount Olympus, she was a cupbearer for the Gods and Goddesses, and she represented youth and old age, forgiveness, and the prime of life.

Scorpio is the fixed water sign of passion and desire, and passionate water is an accommodating place for such a goddess.  Looking deeper into the meaning behind the 11th degree of Scorpio, we can see a message of humility as a drowning man is being rescued.

This reminds me of a hand sticking out of a grave; someone sees the individual struggle to survive and decides to reach out and offer a helping hand.

We’re finally saved!  Humble, which is the umbrella term describing the 11th through the 15th degree, is reinforced in the chart by the Moon’s Nodal axis, which is an axis of major significance in this reading because Hebe is conjunct the Moon in the 2nd House.

The South Node is in the 1st House and the North Node in the 7th House.  As the importance of self and ego fades in the background, slightly, our personal needs are better met in the company of others.  The 7th House is about marriages, partnerships, and contractual agreements.

Be thankful, and show appreciation and gratitude for being saved.  Then, remain humble as you begin to form the partnerships that will carry you forward.

This is a real blessing for those of us who are resonating with this.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Entering Scorpio, Holding Hands

October 23, 2022

Good morning everyone, today is Sunday, October 23rd, and at 9:50 AM (eastern time) the Sun and Venus entered Scorpio together in the 11th House.

Sun conjunct Venus 0 degrees Scorpio/11th House

The 11th House, which is the home of Uranus and Aquarius, represents our hopes and wishes for the future. The 11th House is also the house of friendships and dreams and goals that are long-term, idealism, and vision.

Traditionally, Scorpio rules the 8th House, The house of death and regeneration, but this morning we found Scorpio occupying the 11th House.

Before I go any further, I would like to share a story about a friend of mine who was in surgery last week to have cancer removed. So far so good, she is in recovery, and waiting for further information. I couldn’t think of a better example of what’s going on right now astrologically with our current alignment between the Sun and Venus in Scorpio.

Because Scorpio rules the 8th House, but was in the 11th House this morning, this represents several things correlating to my friends situation. It’s a reminder of the harsh reality of life, which is that tomorrow is never guaranteed, and it reminds us that we have to put that harsh reality aside and continue living a fulfilling life of good quality. It reminds us that we need to visualize an ideal future for ourselves and plan for it.

The timing for her couldn’t be any better. The Sun is the life force and will of the zodiac, and Venus is the Goddess of love and beauty, who in Sumerian mythology was known as Inanna. Inanna was the Goddess of love, war, fertility, beauty, sex, divine justice. and political power.

I can’t even begin to believe this as Scorpio rules human reproductive organs, which is exactly the part of her body affected. In her birth chart, she has Chiron on the 27th degree of Taurus in the 8th House, and her natal Chiron is in trine with both her natal Sun and Venus. She has Libra rising with a 12th House Sun, and Jupiter is in Scorpio, the sign that occupies the majority of the 11th House. Jupiter is the most benevolent force and he bestows us with good luck, fortune, and expansion.

Last night I burned a candle for her and continue to pray for her recovery. 💕💕🙏

So, this morning…

Together, the Sun and Venus are holding hands as they enter Scorpio. Scorpio is a feminine water sign that’s fixed in quality. The conjunction is powerful, it’s a combination of life force, the will to live, and love in a future house. I can’t help but think of Jesus in this situation, because it was Jesus (the Sun/Son) who was said to be vibrating at the highest frequency level, which is pure love (Venus), and by doing so, was able to conquer death.

We must cast the inevitable aside and remember that life can be full of great things if we’re loving and maintain the will to live. Scorpio (reproduction/sex organs) in the 11th House, reminds us that although the act of sex is highly pleasurable, the ability to have children is one of our greatest gifts. Our children are the future, and the future we visualize for ourselves is one that not only includes them, but it’s one they’ll be carrying forward.

So, as the Sun enters Scorpio and Scorpio season commences, he does so with the Goddess of love by his side.

Both are in a stressful square with Pluto in Capricorn in the 2nd House.

What’s going on here?

Pluto is the planet of regeneration, he looks to eliminate anything and everything that’s no longer useful or preventing growth so we can have a fresh start.

The 2nd House deals with possessions, and Capricorn is reserved, prudent, and patient, and uses cunning instead of force. Capricorn is persistent and determined.

Pluto is creating tension between the Sun and Venus in the 11th House, because he wants a bright future for them. As we move forward with love and the will to live, the removal of anything that doesn’t support that ideal must go.

Sometimes we don’t have a choice, and Pluto shows no mercy when it comes to regeneration.

As we deal with the power of Pluto in the 2nd House, we are to do so with the qualities and characteristics of Capricorn; patient, cunning instead of force, and we must be determined and persistent.

When it comes to the use of intellect over force, we are blessed with a Grand Air Trine between Mars in Gemini, Mercury in Libra, and Saturn in Aquarius.

At the end of the day, we are not to worry. Pluto is tugging at life and love, but Pluto’s trine with Uranus in the 6th House of health and service reinforces that goodness and favorable outcomes are maintained at the highest levels.

The lucky numbers for Scorpio: 2 and 4 (Tomorrow is the 24th)

Lucky Scorpio Day: Tuesday

Lucky Colors: Burgundy and Crimson (Colors of Passion)

It’s an interesting time for sure! Now before I end this, I want to remind everyone that on Tuesday, which is the luckiest day for Scorpio, we have a brand-new moon cycle beginning!

Can you believe it?!?! A new moon in Scorpio that will partially eclipse the Sun.

Symbolically, death and resurrection is what’s on the menu. The universe is giving us an opportunity to start fresh like the legendary Phoenix, or the lotus flower that blossoms into something unbelievably beautiful and perfect after coming up through the harshest conditions.

Enjoy the rest of your Sunday, and happy birthday to all the Scorpios out there!

♏🌞🧡

A Nodal Nightmare?

For those who aren’t familiar and/or disconnected from astrology circles, I just saw the Dragon’s Tail is not only in the 1st House, but in Scorpio as well!

Most of us are familiar with the Moon-we know it orbits the Earth. As it orbits our planet, is does so on an angle. The Moon has two nodal points, the north node and the south node.

The Moon’s nodes mark the point where the Moon’s orbit crosses the Sun’s path on the ecliptic. I call them X-points, but;

The north node represents the point at which the Moon ascends in its orbit, and the south node is the point where the Moon descends in its orbit. North node=going up. South node=going down.

The ancients envisioned a dragon in the heavens, and they named the north node, Caput Draconis, which is Latin for Dragon’s Head, and the south node, Cauda Draconis, which is Latin for Dragon’s Tail.

Geomancers will throw out a chart and end a personal reading if the Dragon’s Tail, or south node happens to fall in the first house. They say it’s ill-fated and terribly unlucky. And they might be on to something.

After conducting my own research, I found the Moon’s south node in the 1st house on April 4, 1968, in the assassination chart of MLK. Coincidental? I don’t know, but there was an article published online today on the site, The Conversation, that said the Earth’s magnetic field could be disturbed today by solar flares.

This is all so interesting to me-considering tomorrow is July 22nd. Remember when I published that article about July 22nd? I didn’t make any predictions, but I said to myself, let me share with my readers what lined up for me on the 22nd just in case something strange happens like a resurrection or a rapture. LOL, hey, I didn’t want anyone saying, “You could’ve saved us but you didn’t say anything.” So I did. I told you about how the Fibonacci numbers lined up with certain days on the calendar, and how those days could be important from a biblical perspective.

The crazy thing is that Scorpio, the sign the south node is in currently, is the sign of death, birth, rebirth, resurrection, and transformation. I had no idea this was going to line up this way because I was focusing on the location of MakeMake.

The 1st house is the house of self, and Scorpio is the sign of death and resurrection! Incredible. Keep your eyes open-LOL-for the rest of the night, tomorrow, and tomorrow night too.

Moon Scope; the waters of mystery

Tonight’s Moon is 98% full and waning. Get yourself settled in a comfortable place, dim the lights until they’re almost off, and take a deep breath. At 10 PM eastern time/7 PM west coast, the Moon will be in Scorpio in the 12th House.

I laugh when people mock astrology.

Scorpio represents fixed-feminine water, and when the water is fixed, it’s going to take some convincing to get the flood gates back open again (that’s what we need right now).

Serious thoughts rise to surface and occupy the waking mind. The reactive and receptive Moon reaps the benefits of persistence, and the key phrase for Scorpio is, “I desire.” The combination creates an inquisitive detective like mind, and the Scorpio Moon mind desires to know about sex, birth, money, death, the occult, and things of that nature.

The 12th House is the house of secrets, and within its walls you can find psychic power, secret enemies, hospitals and prisons, accidents, disappointments, and self-limiting behavior.

If you have any questions regarding the desires of Scorpio, tonight is the time go within and find those answers while the moon is still 98% full. Scorpio’s natural home is in the eight house, which is the house of other people’s property, so we bring the theme of “other people’s property” into the house of secrets (12th) for insight on how that of the other is affecting us.

This is truly an enlightening experience as we finally get some type of perspective on how we’re affected by the stuff we can’t see. And quite honestly, the effects of this alignment should’ve been felt over the last day or two.

But tonight, all that will culminate for your benefit. Just keep in mind though, in order for you to capitalize on this, you must be willing and open to the possibility that you might be your own worst enemy. Accept responsibility for the limitations you’ve placed on yourself, and the rest will be an unfolding revelation through the intuitive waters of 12th House.

Stick a toe in if you dare.
